Collector Jaguars For Sale
 WITH FACTORY HARDTOP OUR CAR IS ABOUT 1,100 FROM THE LAST ONE BUILT AT CHASSIS # 13739. RECORD BOOKS SHOW THAT JAGUAR ONLY MADE 8630 OPEN CARS FROM 1968 TILL COMPLETION IN 1970 ( TITLED IN 1971). THEY WERE KNOWN BY MOST R.O.W. (THE REST OF THE WORLD) AS "O.T.S.'S" WHICH STOOD FOR "OPEN TWO SEATERS". AMERICAN'S SIMPLY CALLED THEM 'ROADSTERS'. OUR CAR IS AN AMAZING, DOCUMENTED, FREQUENTLY SERVICED AND BABIED, TWO-OWNER EXAMPLE WITH PROVEN MILEAGE BY YEARLY COLORADO STATE INSPECTION OF ONLY 23,200 ORIGINAL MILES WITH RECEIPTS. IT IS 'FULLY EQUIPPED' BY ENGLISH STANDARDS OPTIONED WITH FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, THE FACTORY FIBERGLASS HARDTOP WITH GLASS WINDOWS, CHROME WIRE WHEELS, AM/FM RADIO AND EVEN RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL EXCELLENT CONDITION SCARLET LEATHER INTERIOR, AND FOUR SPEED GEARBOX. THE CAR STILL 'SMELLS AND SHOWS NEW'. IT HAD THE VALVES UPDATED FOR THE LOWER OCTANE GAS IN MAY 1998 AND RECIEVED IT'S FIRST RE-PAINT IN THE ORIGINAL COLOR AFTER STRIPPING TO BARE METAL IN 1989. JAGUAR HAS GONE THROUGH MANY CHANGES SINCE THE ADVENT OF THE XK SERIES BUT, FEW DISAGREE THAT THE LAST OF THE SIX CYLINDER MODELS, CALLED THE SERIES II XKE'S SPELLED THE CULMINATION OF THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT BY SIR WILLIAM LYONS. ONCE JAGUAR TRIED TO COMPETE WITH THE BIG BOYS FERRARI, AND LAMBORGHINI, WITH A V-12 VERSION, THE CAR WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. IT BECAME NOSE HEAVY AND CUMBERSOME TO HANDLE. JAGUAR EVEN CONSIDERED A V8 TRANSPLANT BUT, THE COMPETITIVE ROAD POINTED TO A V12 AND THAT'S THE COURSE THEY CHOOSE TO TAKE. FOOTNOTE: THOUGH THE AUTOMATIC WAS AVAILABLE IN THE FIXED HEAD 2+2 COUPES IT NEVER SAW PRODUCTION IN THE CONVERTIBLES. 1970-71 SIGNALED THE VERY LAST OF THE SIX CYLINDER CARS SO, THE SERIES II'S MAKE AN EXCELLENT COLLECTOR'S CHOICE. THIS CAR WAS SHOWN MANY TIMES IN COLORADO CONCOURS MEETS IN THE LAST 24 YEARS INCLUDING THE ARROWHEAD CONCOURS, THE COLORADO ENGLISH MOTORING CONCLAVE, THE 22ND ANNUAL EXOTIC SPORTS CAR CONCOURS, THE COLUMBINE CLASSIC CONCOURS AND THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN JAGUAR CLUB "CROQUET AMONGST THE CATS". IT WON 943.25 POINTS OUT OF A POSSIBLE 1,000 AT THE CO. J.C.N.A. MEET. 'STIMULUS' PRICED AT $74,000 Or Near Offer. Information Contact Kerry Bogard 206 N.
